From the Los Angeles Times   Los Angeles firefighters are testing a two-wheeled way to respond to incidents in the traffic-snarled city: motorcycles. The Los Angeles Fire Department's pilot motorcycle response team is a five-man unit being used to speed to the side of an injured victim, provide information to dispatchers and skirt traffic to scout fires and other problems. The unit first rode during last year's "Carmageddon" closure of the 405 Freeway, and its next deployment is to take place during a follow-up closure this weekend, when workers will demolish the other half of the Mulholland Drive bridge overhead. Fire departments serving traffic-snarled cities around the nation have adopted similar motorcycle teams to improve response times, staff special events ...

I do this ride in remembrance of my father, Robert E.Comar, who passed in 2008 because of complications caused by Parkinson's disease. His strength of character and perseverance in his struggle with this disease gives me my personal drive ...

From Forbes, edited by Canyon Carver California Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday signed a law making it legal for driverless cars to travel on public roadways. It’s not that smart minds in Detroit, Japan and Germany aren’t already working on autonomous cars. They’ve been doing so for years. But as with most new technologies, automotive engineers want to make absolutely certain that they’re safe and perform as expected before launching into mass production. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration agrees, of course, which is why it recently launched the first real-world test of vehicle-to-vehicle communication near Ann Arbor, Mich. But Google, which has already developed a fleet of driverless cars that some of its employees use to commute to work, ...
